A Tucson Gathering

In this episode, recorded on location in Tucson, Arizona, we explore the vibrant world of the Tucson Gem and Mineral Showcase. Joined by Brienne Rosner, a leading voice within the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG), we discuss the organisation’s mission, its commitment to supporting contemporary jewellery practice, and its long-standing presence at this internationally renowned event. We delve into Brienne’s own creative background, the relationship between jewellery and display in her work, and what visitors can expect from SNAG @ Tucson 2026, including the exhibition Mineral Minded. Join us as we reflect on community, connection, and the ways makers continue to bridge distances, whether in person or online, at a time when travel and sustainability shape how we come together.
